Special friction coating on Pistons and many other parts including bearings
My son started putting friction coating on parts. Expensive but better then Moly. It gets impregnated into the metal using a blasting method. Used on many race motors by race teams. Most shops do moly coating due to the cost of this material. He told me this stuff is a new material and cost close to $600 for 5 lbs. Guys with deep pockets want this stuff. I may sneak some on some of my tractor motor parts when he is at his day job.
Its a lighter gray then moly but is much better as per the manufacture of both. Just more then twice the cost. Friction is the killer all motors
The picture below you can see the moly coating wears off . This was one season. The new coating is applied after the moly is totally removed.
He told me it will be put on sides of lifters , valves, bearings and any where there is friction in a motor. Did you ever see those motors that have an additive in oil that run at shows with no oil for days. This is the additive in the oil. Just impregnated as a coating into the metal.
I can't wait until this motor comes back to freshen again and see if it works.
